Abstract
When performing a texture sampling operation that uses the results of plural texture filtering operations to provide an overall output sampled texture value in a graphics processing system, it is determined whether a texture filtering operation in the set of plural texture filtering operations that are to be performed to provide the overall output sampled texture value can be at least partially merged with another texture filtering operation in the set of texture filtering operations. If so a merged texture filtering operation is performed for the two texture filtering operations, with the result of the merged texture filtering operation being used when providing the overall output sampled texture value.
